New transmission mounts in 901 carrier

[Merv]

I can weld (self taught and the 'metal bird' would be proud of his droppings at times), but that PDF they show looks pretty precise.

[Fishcop]

I can weld too, but mine will be TIG'ed by a pro

I am surprised that this problem only has a few players offering solutions

[Merv]

Has to be pretty common I would have though on the early SWBs.
Some ongoing interest here but no compelling solutions.

This guy used the PP mounts and pressed them on! He was doing an early 912 but they seem the same mount. Shows that it 'can' be done, as Michel suggests

The Rebel Racing OEM style bushings seem best/softer perhaps

I'm ordering some - I do know Chris at fenn lane and Alan @ canford use the super pro bushes - others using the rebel

[Merv]

Michel I am not sure what kind Chris has but others have said that the softer ones (Rebel - black) are better at reducing any vibration. I take it that these are two piece bushes?

2 piece

[Merv]

OK I am ordering them as well. I can't imagine there is much to be saved in a joint order? Will check freight ...

Rebel Racing show $119 for the two bushes and $114 for the freight! On principle I won't pay that. Did you find anything better Michel?

There are Wevo bushes on PP for far less money but not sure if they will fit the existing cross member?

[Michel]

Merv the wevo will not work. ( from the horses mouth)

I think I've got a better freight option. Will advise. 114 USD is well not cricket

Polygraphite from PP, rebel or super pro

Otherwise buy a 915 carrier or the wevo kit.

[Merv]

Keep me posted thanks Michel. You mean these? http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...pg4.htm#item20

I like RR ones more.

[Merv]

Did you manage to get a better deal on these Michel?

[Michel]

Merv waiting to hear back from clint as per the recent thread here on Rebel...they can be slow in responding.

[Merv]

Great - I wrote to him too ...

[Merv]

I got up early and called them in CA. No answer. Called the alternative number and found Jonathan and he immediately sent me a PaPal invoice with freight at $35 rather than $114. All good.

His email is: jonathan@rebelracingproducts.com

[Michel]

Merv Ill give it a shot - you didnt mention to Jonathan there were others in OZ been trying to contact them?

[Merv]

I did Michel. Mine are already posted.
